The effects in vivo and in vitro of the radioprotective agents (MEA, AET, serotonin, dopamine, and histamine) on mitochondrial ATPase activity of rat brain and liver have been investigated. The enzyme activity has been found to be inhibited for the most. Possible mechanisms of the effects observed are discussed.

The postirradiation changes in the adenine nucleotide content and energy charge in large hemispheres of rat brain have been investigated. Dose dependent disturbances have been found in the adenine nucleotide system. Mechanisms of changes in the energy status of nerve cells in radiation disease are discussed.

The effect of lethal and superlethal doses of ionizing radiation (0.206, 0.309, and 9.288 C/kg) on ATPase activity of rat brain mitochondria has been investigated. The results obtained indicate that ionizing radiation causes appreciable, depending on the dose, changes in ATPase of brain mitochondria.
